Ooh
Nice! I remember when these came out. There was a completion in the supermarket to win one.
Don’t think they came with ford motor in might be 328
Ford had the 428 you sure it wasnt a 427
Pontiac had a 428 …. it was originally a police interceptor motor
428 Edit
In 1967 the 421 was bored to 4.12. this gave a displacement of 426.61 CID or a 427. The 428 had the same 4″ stroke as the 421, yet retained the 421’s 3.25″ Main journal, and was produced from 1967 to 1969. This engine produced 360 hp and 376 hp in 1967, 375 hp and 390 hp in 1968 and 360 hp, 370 hp and 390 hp in 1969. The crankshaft in the 428 also had a “N” cast on them as opposed to the 421’s Armasteel. In 1969, Pontiac also used a revised crankshaft out of a Pearlitic malleable-iron, although it still used the “N” casting letter. This new material had stronger alloys in the iron. All 428 engines were factory installed in large cars only. However, there were a few dealers that would install a 428 in a customers GTO or Firebird for higher power levels.
It was replaced by the 455 for the 1970 model year.
I had a 69 G.T.O. with a 428 and a tri power set up . Ran like a raped ape when carbs where tuned right.
Thank you for the good info.
